The results are in!
Jonathan: A really clever piece of writing, wry observation. Excellent.
Libby: A pleasing little tale, well written and with a message. Good job.
Daedalus: Hugely enjoyable and accomplished description of life with a new puppy and the utter contentment that comes with its unreserved adoration. Liked it a lot.
So, eenie,…[Read more]

Thanks guys!
I think I am like the “doom-monger” blogger. I read so many articles that are like “the whole thing was amazing and I felt thrilled the whole time” and I’m like… “really??”
Alright, so I am a born worrier and totally neurotic, but I do want to share an honest account of the challenges that come, even when on paper what’s…[Read more]

It is such an emotional rollercoaster, isn’t it? So glad you came out of it on a high – well deserved. Really happy it’s all come together for you. x

Well done to the three of you! I’ll give these tales due consideration during the day and post the result by this evening.

In February 2018, I wrote and posted a blog charting my writing journey to the point of signing with an agent (you can find that blog here: https://www.denofwriters.com/forums/topic/getting-an-agent-blog/#post-4152).
This second blog tells what happened next.
February-May 2018
I had signed with agent Sarah Manning, on the basis that I would…[Read more] -

Wow, thanks for sharing, @daedalus. I’m pleased it’s resolved now, but after reading part one, I’ve a feeling things are going to get pretty sticky before we get to that point.

Thanks so much, guys! I’m just about to put up a blog post on the journey, in case any of you want to pore over the gruesome details…. 🙂

No intention of doing any such thing in this case, Athers.

Quite right too 🙂

I wonder if it’d be an idea to insist on a profile for joiners? Can be faked, of course, but is a bit more of a nuisance to compile plus enables a bit more of an informed choice as to whether or not to befriend.
-
The problem is not insisting on a profile. The problem is the necessary custom code to make it visible. It’s being looked into at any rate.
-
Ah … thanks, Jules.
-
Sorry! I was one of the trusting culprits who made friends. It just seemed unkind to refuse. I’ve learned my lesson now.
-
Not a culprit at all. The name on the profile gave nothing away and I was the first to accept because I thought it was somebody I’d met recently and told about the site (I only knew her first name). Anyway, Jules has sorted “her” out now.

Oo er. ‘She’ must be sore!

Sore bot?
